Fortitude

Quaking with terror I stood my ground The children must not hear one sound Again shall come the abuse I fear The door slams in my heart, I hear Once more those boots I've come to dread A violet flame upholds my vision instead With soft, imploring eyes I beg him please Knowing with submission thus I can appease Hawke, take me on your wings dear one To dimensions higher than most have spun Cleanse this horror from my mind Cleave soul from body so I may find Through all this abomination still find grace My spirit grown amongst lessons I face In spite of lusting eyes, cruelty and pain Seek purpose, meaning, deeper Truths as yet Hope's revelation for my twin soul to be met But now still love, forgive, find peace again.

Additional Notes:
A Hawke is my power animal and Hawke MorningStar is my Shamanic name. The violet flame is my spiritual guide, comforter, God's Holy Spirit, my Higher Self or Life Force.
